Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to Neisseria meningitidis compositions and methods thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative encapsulated bacterium that can cause sepsis, meningitis, and death. N. meningitidis can be classified into at least 12 serogroups (including serogroups A, B, C, 29E, Η, I, K, L, W-135, X, Y and Z) based on 0 chemically and antigenically distinctive polysaccharide capsules. Strains with five of the serogroups (A, B, C, Y, and W135) are responsible for the majority of disease.
Meningococcal meningitis is a devastating disease that can kill children and young adults within hours despite the availability of antibiotics. There is a need for improved immunogenic compositions against meningococcal serogroups A, B, C, Y, 25 and W135 and/or X.
Currently, a cross-protective vaccine or composition effective against a wide range of MnB isolates is not yet commercially available. For example, published results-to-date relating to a licensed multi-component composition for protection against serogroup B disease has not demonstrated a direct bactericidal immune response against multiple strains expressing heterologous LP2086 (fHBP) variants, at least in adolescents. At most, published results-to-date relating to the multi-component composition for protection against serogroup B disease appear to show immunogenicity against LP2086 (fHBP) variants that are homologous to the LP2086 (fHBP) variant in the multi-component composition. Accordingly, a cross-protective vaccine or composition effective against diverse MnB isolates is needed as is determining real2019220620 26 Aug 2019 world vaccine coverage against a panel of diverse or heterologous meningococcal strains (e.g., representing different geographical regions).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The inventors surprisingly discovered a composition that includes a first lipidated polypeptide including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and a second lipidated polypeptide including the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. The 5 composition has an acceptable safety profile in humans and the composition surprisingly elicits a broadly cross-reactive bactericidal immune response in humans against at least more than two diverse Neisseria meningitidis strains.
The inventors further discovered that a 2-dose administration schedule and a 3dose administration schedule surprisingly yielded hSBA titers of >8 against test strains 0 from N. meningitidis serogroup B, with vaccine heterologous LP2086 (factor H binding protein (fHBP)) subfamilies A and B in a high proportion of human subjects. A 3-dose administration schedule may provide the broadest protection in humans against diverse MnB clinical strains, when compared to a 2-dose administration schedule.
The inventors also surprisingly discovered that robust immune responses against human papillomavirus and N. meningitidis serogroup B were generated after concomitant administration of the rLP2086 composition and a quadrivalent immunogenic composition against human papillomavirus (HPV4). For example, a concomitant administration of the rLP2086 composition and HPV4 composition generated an immune response at least against N. meningitidis serogroup B test strains expressing fHBPs that are heterologous to those fHBPs in the rLP2086 composition.
Such heterologous test strains include wild-type N. meningitidis serogroup B strains that express A22 fHBP, A56 fHBP, B24 fHBP, or B44 fHBP, which are each heterologous to the fHBPs in the rLP2086 composition. See WO/2012/032489, WO/2013/132452, US patent publication number US20120093852, and US patent publication number
US20130243807, which describe variant fHBP proteins, including A22 fHBP, A56 fHBP,
B24 fHBP, and B44 fHBP, among others. These references are each incorporated by reference in their entirety. The concomitant administration also surprisingly generated an immune response at least against HPV types 6, 11, 16, and/or 18. The immune responses against the HPV types after concomitant administration of the rLP2086 composition and the HPV4 composition were noninferior when compared to the immune response generated by an administration of the HPV4 composition in the absence of the rLP2086 composition.
In addition, the inventors surprisingly discovered that robust immune responses against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and poliomyelitis and N. meningitidis serogroup B 35 were generated after concomitant administration of the rLP2086 composition and an
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 immunogenic composition against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and poliomyelitis. For example, a concomitant administration of the rLP2086 composition and REPEVAX composition generated an immune response at least against N. meningitidis serogroup B test strains expressing fHBPs that are heterologous to those fHBPs in the rLP2086 5 composition. The concomitant administration also surprisingly generated an immune response at least against the 9 antigens in REPEVAX: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis toxoid, pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin, pertussis pertactin, pertussis fimbrial agglutinogens type 2 + 3, poliovirus type 1, poliovirus type 2, poliovirus type 3. The immune responses against the REPEVAX antigens after concomitant administration of 0 the rLP2086 composition and the REPEVAX composition were noninferior when compared to the immune response generated by an administration of the REPEVAX composition in the absence of the rLP2086 composition.
Moreover, the inventors surprisingly discovered that the rLP2086 composition induces a bactericidal immune response against an ST409 N. meningitidis strain that 5 expresses the fHBP B153 variant. For example, the strain expressing the fHBP B153 variant was found to be susceptible to killing when contacted with human bivalent rLP2086 composition immune sera, in a serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA).
COMPOSITION AND VACCINE
In one aspect, the invention relates to a composition against Neisseria meningitidis. The composition includes a first lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and a second lipidated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.
The inventors surprisingly discovered a single N. meningitidis polypeptide component that induces an effective broadly protective immune response against multiple strains of N. meningitidis serogroup B.

POLYSORBATE-80
Polysorbate 80 (PS-80) is a non-ionic surfactant. Accelerated stability studies using an in vitro monoclonal antibody based potency assay demonstrated instability of the subfamily B protein at higher molar ratios of PS-80 to MnB rLP2086 protein in the final formulation. Further experiments with varying ratios of PS-80 have demonstrated that the optimal molar ratio of PS-80 to MnB rLP2086 protein is approximately 2.8 ±1.4 to retain potency.
The concentration of PS-80 in the composition is dependent on a molar ratio of
PS-80 to the polypeptide. In one embodiment, the composition includes a 2.8±1.4 molar ratio of PS-80 to the first polypeptide and to the second polypeptide. In one embodiment, the composition includes a 2.8±1.1 molar ratio of PS-80 to the first polypeptide and to the second polypeptide. In one embodiment, the composition includes at least 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 molar ratio of PS-80 to polypeptide. Preferably, the composition includes a 2.8 molar ratio of PS-80 to polypeptide.
The PS-80 to polypeptide molar ratio is determined by calculation from the measured concentration of PS-80 and the measured total polypeptide concentration, in 30 which both values are expressed in moles. For example, PS-80 to Protein molar ratio is determined by calculation of the measured concentration of PS-80 (e.g., by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)) to the measured total protein concentration (e.g., by ion exchange-high pressure liquid chromatography (IEX-HPLC)) in the final drug substance, where both values are expressed in moles.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
A RP-HPLC is used to quantitate the concentration of Polysorbate 80 in vaccine formulations. The concentration of detergent is determined by saponification of the fatty acid moiety; Polysorbate 80 is converted to free oleic acid by alkaline hydrolysis at 40°C. The sample is separated by RP-HPLC using a C18 column and quantitated using 5 a UV detector at a wavelength of 200 nm.
The first and the second polypeptides are resolved by anion-exchange HPLC. rLP2086(fHBP) Subfamily A and B proteins elute at distinct retention times and are quantitated using a standard curve generated against the respective rLP2086 protein reference material.

BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY
Immune response induced by administering the composition to a human is determined using a serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) against four N. meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) strains. The 4 MnB strains used in the hSBA were selected from a strain pool. The strain pool represented a collection of systematically collected clinically relevant N. meningitidis serogroup B strains from the US and Europe.

TITERS
In one embodiment, the composition induces an increase in bactericidal titer in the human, as compared to the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of a dose of the composition, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA. In 5 one embodiment, the increase in bactericidal titer is compared to the bactericidal titer in the human before administration of the first dose of the composition, as compared to the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the first dose of the composition, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA. In one embodiment, the increase in titer is observed after a second dose of the composition, as compared to the 0 bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the second dose of the composition, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA. In another embodiment, the increase in bactericidal titer is observed after a third dose of the composition, as compared to the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the third dose of the composition, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA.
In one embodiment, the composition induces a bactericidal titer in the human after administration of a dose, wherein the bactericidal titer is at least greater than 1-fold higher than the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the dose, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA. For example, the bactericidal titer 0 may be at least 1.01-fold, 1.1-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8fold, 9-fold, 10-fold, 11-fold, 12-fold, 13-fold, 14-fold, 15-fold, or 16-fold higher in the human after receiving a dose of the composition, as compared to the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the dose, when measured under identical conditions in an hSBA.
In one embodiment, a “responder” refers to a human, wherein the composition induces a bactericidal titer in the human after administration of a dose, wherein the bactericidal titer is at least greater than 1-fold higher than the bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the dose. In a preferred embodiment, the responder achieves at least a > 4-fold rise in hSBA titer, as compared to a bactericidal titer in the human prior to administration of the dose. Such a responder may be referred to as having a protective titer.
In one embodiment, the hSBA titer is the reciprocal of the highest dilution of a serum sample that produces a measurable effect. For example, in one embodiment, the hSBA titer is the reciprocal of the highest 2-fold dilution of a test serum that results 35 in at least a 50% reduction of MnB bacteria (50% bacterial survival) compared to the
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
T30 CFU value (i.e., the number of bacteria surviving after incubation in assay wells containing all assay components except test serum; 100% bacterial survival).
In one embodiment, the composition induces a bactericidal titer in the human after receiving the first dose that is at least 2-fold higher than the bactericidal titer in the human prior to receiving the first dose (e.g., higher than the bactericidal titer in the human in the absence of the first dose), when measured under identical conditions in the hSBA. In one embodiment, the composition induces a bactericidal titer in the human that is at least 4-fold higher than the bactericidal titer in the human prior to receiving the first dose, when measured under identical conditions in a human serum bactericidal assay that utilizes human complement (hSBA). In one embodiment, the composition induces a bactericidal titer in the human that is at least 8-fold higher than the bactericidal titer in the human prior to receiving the first dose, when measured under identical conditions in a human serum bactericidal assay that utilizes human complement (hSBA).
Ina preferred embodiment, the human serum complement is derived from a human having low intrinsic bactericidal activity for a given SBA test strain. Low intrinsic bactericidal activity refers to, for example, a bactericidal titer that is at least less than a 1:4 dilution against the given SBA test strain. In one embodiment, the human complement is derived from a human having an hSBA titer that is at least less than 1:4, such as a 1:2 dilution, against the given SBA test strain, wherein the composition was not administered to the human.
A human may exhibit an hSBA titer of less than 1:4 prior to administration of a composition, such as the bivalent rLP2086 composition, or a human may exhibit an hSBA titer of >1:4 prior to administration of the composition. Accordingly, in preferred 25 embodiments and examples, administration of at least one dose of the composition to the human results in an hSBA titer that is at least greater than 1:4, such as, for example, an hSBA titer of >1:8, an hSBA titer of >1:16, and an hSBA titer of >1:32. The respective Examples described herein include assessments of the proportion of human subjects having an hSBA titer >1:8 and/or >1:16, wherein the bivalent rLP2086 composition was administered to the human. Such preferred assessments of hSBA titers greater than 1:4 show that the protection, i.e., the bactericidal immune response induced in the human, is associated with the composition.
In one embodiment, the human has an hSBA titer equal to or greater than the hSBA’s lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) after administration of the first dose of the 35 composition. In another embodiment, the human has an hSBA titer equal to or greater
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 than the hSBA’s LLOQ after administration of the second dose of the composition. In another embodiment, the human has an hSBA titer equal to or greater than the hSBA’s LLOQ after administration of the third dose of the composition.

ADDITIONAL IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITIONS
The inventors surprisingly discovered that the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis may be administered with an immunogenic composition against human papillomavirus (HPV) without negatively affecting the bactericidal response against N.
meningitidis. As explained in Example 7 and Example 8, substantial hSBA responses to N. meningitidis test strains were observed among humans who were administered with the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and GARDASIL and in humans who were administered with the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and saline. Additional increases in hSBA responses were observed about
1 month after a third dose of the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis.
Moreover, the inventors surprisingly discovered that robust immune responses against both N. meningitidis and HPV were generated in the human following an administration of both the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and the immunogenic composition against HPV, as compared to the immune response in the human before administration of the compositions. As explained in Example 7 and Example 8, titers against HPV increased in the human after an administration of the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and GARDASIL, as compared to the titers in the human prior to administration of the immunogenic compositions. The increase in titers against HPV was at least greater than 1-fold, at least 2-fold, at least 30 fold, at least 4-fold, or more.
Accordingly, in one embodiment, the method includes inducing an immune response against N. meningitidis in a human, wherein the method further includes administering to the human an immunogenic composition against human papillomavirus. Preferably, the immune response is bactericidal against N. meningitidis.
In one embodiment, the method further includes inducing an immune response against HPV. In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes inducing an immune response against any one of human papillomavirus types 6, 11, 16, and 18, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the immunogenic ccomposition against HPV is administered to the human within 24 hours of administering said composition against
N. meningitidis.
In one embodiment, the method includes inducing an immune response against N. meningitidis in a human, wherein the method further includes administering to the human an immunogenic composition against HPV. Preferably, the immune response is bactericidal against N. meningitidis. In one embodiment, the method further includes inducing an immune response against HPV. In a preferred embodiment, the method
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 further includes inducing an immune response against any one of human papillomavirus types 6, 11, 16, and 18, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the immunogenic composition against human papillomavirus is administered to the human within 24 hours of administering said composition against N. meningitidis.
In another aspect, the inventors surprisingly discovered that the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis may be administered with an immunogenic composition against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated poliomyelitis virus (dTaP) without negatively affecting the bactericidal response against N. meningitidis. As explained in Example 4, substantial hSBA responses to N. meningitidis test strains were observed among humans who were administered with the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and REPEVAX. Additional increases in hSBA responses were observed about 1 month after a third dose of the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis.
Moreover, the inventors surprisingly discovered that robust immune responses against both N. meningitidis and dTaP were generated in the human following an administration of both the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and the immunogenic composition against dTaP, as compared to the immune response in the human before administration of the compositions. As explained in Example 4, titers against dTaP increased in the humanafter an administration of the immunogenic composition against N. meningitidis and REPEVAX, as compared to the titers in the human prior to administration of the immunogenic compositions. The increase in titers against dTaP was at least greater than 1-fold, at least 2-fold, at least 3-fold, at least 4fold, or more.

METHODS AND ADMINISTRATION
In one aspect, the invention relates to a method of inducing an immune response against N. meningitidis in a human. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of vaccinating a human. In one embodiment, the method includes administering to the 5 human at least one dose of the composition described above. In another embodiment, the method includes administering to the human at least a first dose and a second dose of the composition described above.
Surprisingly, the inventors discovered that a two-dose schedule of the composition induced a bactericidal titer against diverse heterologous subfamily A and 0 against diverse heterologous subfamily B strains in the human. For example, the percentage of humans with an hSBA titer >1:8 was 90% or greater for SBA test strains expressing LP2086 (fHBP) A22 or LP2086 (fHBP) A56 following a two-dose schedule of the composition described above. See Example 1.
In one embodiment, the second dose is administered at least 20, 30, 50, 60, 100, 5 120, 160, 170, or 180 days after the first dose, and at most 250, 210, 200, or 190 days after the first dose. Any minimum value may be combined with any maximum value described herein to define a range.
In another embodiment, the second dose is administered about 30 days after the first dose. In another embodiment, the second dose is administered about 60 days after 0 the first dose, such as, for example, in a 0, 2 month immunization schedule. In another embodiment, the second dose is administered about 180 days after the first dose, such as, for example, in a 0, 6 month immunization schedule. In yet another embodiment, the second dose is administered about 120 days after the first dose, such as, for example, in a 2, 6 month immunization schedule.
In one embodiment, the method includes administering to the human two doses of the composition and at most two doses. In one embodiment, the two doses are administered within a period of about 6 months after the first dose. In one embodiment, the method does not include further administration of a booster to the human. A “booster” as used herein refers to an additional administration of the composition to the human. Administering to the human at most two doses of the composition may be advantageous. Such advantages include, for example, facilitating a human to comply with a complete administration schedule and facilitating cost-effectiveness of the schedule.
In one embodiment, the first dose and the second dose are administered to the human over a period of about 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140,
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
150, 160, 170, 180, 190, or 200 days, and most 400, 390, 380, 370, 365, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 290, 280, 270, 260, 250, 240, 230, 220, 210, or 200 days after the first dose. Any minimum value may be combined with any maximum value described herein to define a range.
In one embodiment, the first dose and the second dose are administered to the human over a period of about 30 days. In another embodiment, the first dose and the second dose are administered to the human over a period of about 60 days. In another embodiment, the first dose and the second dose are administered to the human over a period of about 180 days.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
THREE DOSES
The inventors further surprisingly discovered that a three-dose schedule of the composition induced a broader bactericidal titer against strains expressing heterologous LP2086 (fHBP) subfamily B strains in a greater percentage of humans than a two-dose schedule. For example, the percentage of humans with a hSBA titer >1:8 was 65% or greater for SBA test strains LP2086 (fHBP) B24 and LP2086 (fHBP) B44 following a two-dose schedule of the composition described above. The percentage of humans with a hSBA titer >1:8 was 86% or greater for SBA test strains B24 and B44 following a three-dose schedule of the composition described above. See Example 1.
Accordingly, in one embodiment, a three-dose schedule of the composition induces a bactericidal titer against multiple strains expressing LP2086 (fHBP) heterologous to the first and/or second polypeptide in a greater percentage of humans than a two-dose schedule.
In one embodiment, the method includes administering to the human three doses of the composition. In another embodiment, the method includes administering at most three doses of the composition. In one embodiment, the three doses are administered within a period of about 6 months after the first dose. In one embodiment, the method includes an administration of a booster dose to the human after the third dose. In another embodiment, the method does not include administration of a booster dose to 0 the human after the third dose. In another embodiment, the method does not further include administering a fourth or booster dose of the composition to the human. In a further embodiment, at most three doses within a period of about 6 months are administered to the human.
In an exemplary embodiment, the second dose is administered about 30 days after the first dose, and the third dose is administered about 150 days after the second dose, such as, for example, in a 0, 1, 6 month immunization schedule. In another exemplary embodiment, the second dose is administered about 60 days after the first dose, and the third dose is administered about 120 days after the second dose, such as, for example, in a 0, 2, 6 month immunization schedule.
In one embodiment, the first dose, second dose, and third dose are administered to the human over a period of about 150, 160, 170, or 180 days, and at most 240, 210 200, or 190 days. Any minimum value may be combined with any maximum value described herein to define a range. Preferably, the first dose, second dose, and third dose is administered to the human over a period of about 180 days or 6 months. For example, the second dose may be administered to the human about 60 days after the
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 first dose, and the third dose may be administered to the human about 120 days after the second dose. Accordingly, an exemplary schedule of administration includes administering a dose to the human at about months 0, 2, and 6.
As described above, multiple doses of the immunogenic composition may be administered to the human, and the number of days between each dose may vary. An advantage of the method includes, for example, flexibility for a human to comply with the administration schedules.

EXAMPLE 1: Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of an Investigational Meningococcal Serogroup B Bivalent (MnB) rLP2086 Vaccine in Healthy Adolescents When Administered in Regimens of 2 or 3 Doses in Healthy Subjects aged 11 to 18 Years
Background: Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an investigational bivalent, recombinant vaccine (rLP2086) were studied in healthy adolescents 11-18 years of age using 5 dose regimens including 2 or 3 vaccinations (Table 1).
The vaccine is a 0.5 ml-dose formulated to contain 60 pg each of a purified subfamily A and a purified subfamily B rLP2086 protein, 2.8 molar ratio polysorbate-80, 0 and 0.25 mg of Al3+ as AIPCM, 10 mM histidine-buffered saline at pH 6.0.
Saline is used as a placebo because there is no known proven safe, immunogenic, and effective vaccine against MnB that could serve as an active control. The normal saline solution includes 0.9% sodium chloride in a 0.5 ml dose.
Methods: All subjects in this phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study attended vaccination visits at months 0, 1, 2 and 6. For blinding, a saline control was given when vaccine was not scheduled. Serum bactericidal assays using human complement (hSBA) were performed with 4 MnB test strains expressing LP2086 (fHBP) fHBP variants A22, A56, B24 and B44 (i.e., the 4 “primary hSBA test strains” in the primary endpoint analysis), all of which are different from the variants in the vaccine.
Unsolicited adverse events (AE), solicited local and systemic reactions, and antipyretic use were assessed.
Geometric mean hSBA titers were computed for each primary strain at each blood sampling time point along with 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (Cis). Geometric mean fold rises were computed along with 95% Cis.
A responder was defined as a subject with an hSBA titer equal or above the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the hSBA assays. The LLOQ for each of the 4 hSBA test strains in the primary endpoint analysis was an hSBA titer equal to 1:8. The limit of detection (LOD) for each primary test strain was a titer equal to 1:4 (widely viewed as the correlate of protection against meningococcal disease).
Results: 1 month after the last vaccine dose, 86-99% subjects (after 3 doses; P<0.001) and 69-100% of subjects (after 2 doses) had hSBA titers >8 to each MnB test strain. After study dose 1, 19-27% (1.1-4.3% severe) and 23-27% (0.0-1.0% severe) of rLP2086 recipients experienced redness and swelling, respectively, by group. Injection site pain was the most common local reaction after study dose 1 (7.6-13.1% severe).
Fever >38°C after the first study dose of the bivalent rLP2086 vaccine was experienced
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 in 3.3-6.5% by group compared to 2.1% in saline recipients. Local and systemic reactions were generally more frequent after dose 1 than after subsequent doses. 43 of 1712 subjects (2.5%) reported 51 serious AEs; 2 cases were considered related (1 case of vertigo, chills and headache and 1 case of fever and vomiting). No deaths were reported.

Conclusions: Bivalent rLP2086 had an acceptable safety profile. All 5 dosing regimens yielded hSBA titers >8 against all 4 test strains in a high proportion of subjects. The higher proportions against some test strains after 3 doses compared with 2 doses indicate that 3 doses may provide the broadest protection against diverse MnB clinical strains. Global phase 3 clinical trials are underway with the bivalent rLP2086 vaccine.
One of the objectives of this study was to assess the immune response, as measured by hSBA performed with MnB strains expressing LP2086 subfamily A and B proteins, 1 month after the third vaccination with bivalent rLP2086, among Group 1 subjects (0-, 1-, and 6- month schedule as randomized) and among Group 2 subjects (0-, 2-, and 6-month schedule as randomized). An endpoint for the immunogenicity analysis was the proportion of subjects in Groups 1 and 2 achieving an hSBA titer > LLOQ at Month 7 (or 1 month after the third dose of bivalent rLP2086) for each of the 4 20 primary MnB test strains (A22, A56, B24, and B44). The LLOQ was 1:8 for the 4 primary MnB test strains.
For the evaluable immunogenicity population, the proportion of subjects in Group 1 achieving an hSBA titer >1:8 after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 91.7% for A22, 99.4% for A56, 89% for B24, and 88.5% for B44 (See Table 1 above). Since the lower 25 limit of the 97.5% Cl was >50% for all strains (87.8%, p<0.001; 97.8%, p<0.001; 84.7%, p<0.001; and 84.1%, p<0.001 for strains A22, A56, B24, and B44, respectively, the study objective was met for subjects in Group 1.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
For Group 2, the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer >1:8 after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 95.0% for A22, 98.9% for A56, 88.4% for B24, and 86.1% for B44 (See Table 1 above). Similar to what was seen for Group 1, the lower limit of the 97.5% Cl was >50% for all strains (91.7%, p<0.001; 96.9%, p<0.001; 84.1%, 5 p<0.001; and 81.4%, p<0.001 for strains A22, A56, B24, and B44, respectively, demonstrating that the objective was also met for the subjects in Group 2.
A secondary objective was to assess the immune response, as measured by hSBA performed with MnB strains expressing LP2086 subfamily A and B proteins, 1 month after the second dose of bivalent rLP2086, among group 3 subjects (0- and 60 month schedule as randomized). This secondary objective was the proportion of subjects in Group 3 achieving an hSBA titer > LLOQ (1:8) at Month 7 (or 1 month after the second dose of bivalent rLP2086) for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains.
This secondary objective was also met since the proportion of subjects in Group achieving an hSBA titer >1:8 after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 93.5%, 98.4%,
81.1%, and 77.5% for the primary MnB test strains with the lower limit of the 97.5% Cl >
50% for all strains (90.0%, p<0.001; 96.2%, p<0.001; 76.0%, p<0.001; and 72.2%, p<0.001 for strains A22, A56, B24, and B44, respectively. See Table 1 above).
Another secondary objective was the proportion of subjects with hSBA titer >
LLOQ for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains at each blood sampling time point for 0 subjects in Groups 1 to 5. The LLOQ for each of the 4 primary hSBA test strains was a titer of 1:8. The proportions of subjects with an hSBA titer > 1:8 by study time for the evaluable immunogenicity population is shown in Table 1 above.
The proportion of subjects who had an hSBA titer >1:8 after 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086 (Group 5 [2- and 6-month schedule] 1 month after Injection 3) was 55.9% for 25 A22, 67.6% for A56, 56.9% for B24, and 23.8% for B44.
The proportion of subjects who had an hSBA titer >1:8 one month after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 ranged from 74.6% to 100% for subfamily A strains, and from 54.0% to 81.1% for subfamily B strains. After 3 doses, the proportion increased and ranged from 91.7% to 99.4% and from 86.1% to 89.0% for subfamily A and B strains, 30 respectively.

EXAMPLE 2: SERUM BACTERICIDAL ASSAY USING HUMAN COMPLEMENT (HSBA)
MnB clearance from the human bloodstream is primarily achieved by complement-mediated bacteriolysis and an intact complement system is important for resistance against infections caused by MnB. The in vivo complement-mediated bacteriolysis of MnB is mimicked in vitro by the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), a functional serological assay shown to be the surrogate of protection for meningococcal disease. That is, demonstration of bacterial killing in the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) correlates with protection against meningococcal disease. Immunity elicited by the vaccine is determined using hSBAs against 4 MnB strains (fHBP variants A22, A56, B24, and B44).
The four primary MnB test strains were used in the hSBAs described in the Examples for the determination of endpoints. That is, these strains were used to estimate vaccine efficacy using hSBA immunogenicity endpoints. These test strains 5 represent 4 of the 6 fHBP phylogenetic subgroups that account for >90% of disease isolates circulating in the USA and Europe.
| Variant | Identity to matched fHBP subfamily vaccine component | fHBP subgroup | CC | PorA | Lipooligosaccharides Sialation Level (mol%) |
| A56 | 98.1% | N1C2 | CC213 | Pl.22,14 | 55% |
| B44 | 91.6% | N4/N5 | CC269 | P1.19- 1,10-4 | 23% |
| A22 | 88.9% | N2C2 | CC41/44 | P1.21,16 | 84% |
| B24 | 86.2% | N6 | CC32 | Pl.12- 1,13-1 | 22% |
In selecting the 4 primary MnB test strains from invasive disease isolates, an approach was used which took into account the population distribution of the in vitro
LP2086 surface expression. Furthermore, the hSBA test strains had to show low baseline hSBA positivity, as the populations at risk for meningococcal disease are characterized by non-existing or low baseline bactericidal activity to most strains. In addition, each of the 4 primary MnB test strains expresses an LP2086 variant that is different from the LP2086 variant in the vaccine, thus allowing an objective assessment
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 of functional immunogenicity and efficacy to invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) strains circulating in the population.
The hSBA measures the amount of anti-meningococcal serogroup B (MnB) antibody in serum capable of initiating complement-mediated bactericidal activity.
Briefly, test serum is serially-diluted in 2-fold steps and added to 96-well assay plates. MnB SBA test strains and human serum complement are added, initiating the bactericidal reaction. After incubation of the assay plates at 37°C for 30-60 minutes (depending on SBA test strain; called T30), the reaction mixture containing bacteria surviving this incubation are diluted and transferred to microfilter plates. Following overnight incubation, surviving bacteria expressed as colony-forming units (CFU) are enumerated using an Immunospot Analyzer. The raw CFU data are recorded electronically and transferred to a data analysis application that calculates the hSBA titer. The hSBA titer is the reciprocal of the highest 2-fold dilution of a test serum that results in at least a 50% reduction of MnB bacteria (50% bacterial survival) compared to the T30 CFU value (i.e., the number of bacteria surviving after incubation in assay wells containing all assay components except test serum; 100% bacterial survival). Titers may be reported as step titers, i.e., 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, etc. Serum samples are tested by two individual, replicate determinations in the same assay. The final titer reported for samples in which the replicate measurements are not identical is the lower of the two replicate measurements when system suitability and sample suitability criteria (e.g. replicate titers must agree within one 2-fold dilution) are met.
hSBA assays were done after serially diluting test sera in Dulbecco’s phosphatebuffered saline. Bacteria (roughly 2000 colony-forming units) and human serum complement (20% by weight final concentration) were added to the serially diluted sera 25 in 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C for 30-40 min (depending on hSBA test strain) in a small-radius orbital shaker at 700 rpm. After incubation, a portion of the reaction mixture was transferred to microfilter plates. After overnight incubation, surviving bacteria were counted with an Immunospot Analyzer (Cellular Technology Limited; Shaker Heights, OH, USA) and hSBA titers were analysed with SAS (version 9.2). The 30 hSBA titer was calculated as the reciprocal of the interpolated test serum dilution that resulted in a 50% reduction of bacteria compared with a control not subjected to test serum (i.e., surviving bacteria at the end of the hSBA reaction). Per protocol hSBAs were done on the basis of the hSBA titer that was at or above the lower limit of quantitation of the hSBA assays as established during qualification of the assays with 35 strains listed in the Table 1 of Example 1.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
Human serum is the complement source for the SBA. However, the hSBA titers may vary depending on the human complement lot used. Accordingly, human complement is preferably controlled through rigorous screening and qualification to ensure consistent performance in the hSBA. For the hSBA, human serum complement may be pooled from multiple normal healthy human adults or used from individual donors (i.e., not pooled).

EXAMPLE 3- POLYSORBATE-80
Three parameters have been optimized for drug product formulation: pH, aluminum concentration and polysorbate 80 (PS-80) to protein molar ratio. In a dose of the composition having a total volume of 0.5 ml, optimal protein binding to aluminum is achieved at a pH of about 6.0 and about a 0.5 mg/ml concentration of aluminum as aluminum phosphate (AIPCU) (which is equivalent to 0.25 mg aluminum per dose). The PS-80 to protein molar ratio is maintained at 2.8 ± 1.4 in order to stabilize the formulation with respect to in vitro potency. Polysorbate 80 (PS-80) is added to drug substance to obtain the target PS-80 to protein molar ratio of 2.8. Therefore, PS-80 is preferably not added during the drug product formulation.

EXAMPLE 4
Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study of The Immunogenicity And Safety Of REPEVAX® Administered Concomitantly With Bivalent rLP2086 Vaccine In Healthy Adolescents
Background/Aims: The investigational bivalent rLP2086 vaccine, being developed to prevent Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) disease in adolescents, was evaluated with concomitant administration of REPEVAX®, a dTaP-inactivated polio vaccine (which may be described in U.S. Patent No. 7479283, WO1990/013313, and 0 EP1666057 B1, and UK Marketing Authorisation PL06745/0121) currently used in this population.
Methods: Adolescents, randomized 1:1 to REPEVAX+rLP2086 or REPEVAX +saline were vaccinated at 0, 2, and 6 months. The proportion of subjects achieving prespecified antibody levels to 9 REPEVAX antigens 30 days after initial vaccination 5 were determined. Immune responses (hSBA) to 4 MnB test strains were measured 30 days after vaccinations 2 and 3. Adverse events (AE) and local/systemic reactions were assessed.
REPEVAX (Sanofi Pasteur MSD limited) is a combined low-dose diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and inactivated poliomyelitis virus vaccine containing 0 diphtheria toxoid (not less than 2 IU), tetanus toxoid (not less than 20 IU), pertussis antigens (pertussis toxoid (2.5 micrograms), filamentous haemagglutinin (5 micrograms), pertacti (3 micrograms), and fimbriae Types 2 and 3 (5 micrograms)), polio virus (inactivated) type 1 (40 D antigen units), poliovirus (inactivated type 2 (8 D antigen units), poliovirus (inactivated) type 3 (32 D antigen units), adsorbed on aluminum phosphate (1.5 mg (0.33 mg aluminum)) per 0.5-mL dose.
Immune responses to the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis components of REPEVAX (diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, pertussis toxoid, pertactin, fimbriae types 2 and 3 and filamentous haemagglutinin) were assessed using a multiplexed LUMINEX assay. Immune responses to poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 were measured in virus neutralization assays. Sera obtained from all subjects in both groups were used in these assays.
For assessment of the immune response to bivalent rLP2086, functional antibodies were analyzed in hSBAs with the 4 primary MnB test strains described. Four
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 primary MnB hSBA test strains (A22, A56, B44, and B24), 2 expressing LP2086 subfamily A and the other 2 expressing LP2086 subfamily B variants were selected. These 4 primary hSBA test strains (from 4 of the 6 fHBP phylogenetic subgroups and representing >90% of disease isolates circulating in the USA and Europe) were used for 5 determination of the primary immunogenicity endpoints in this study. Additionally, the
A22, B24, and B44 variants are epidemiologically relevant variants in Europe, while in the US, A22 and B24 are the most prevalent variants found expressed on disease causing MnB strains. The MnB hSBAs were validated prior to testing of samples used for the primary and secondary analyses.
Serum samples from 50% of randomly selected subjects in both groups had hSBA performed with A22 and B24 and the other 50% were tested with A56 and B44. These tests were performed on blood samples collected before Vaccination 1, after Vaccination 2, and after Vaccination 3.
The immunogenicity of REPEVAX is assessed by using prespecified criteria for each antigen defined in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials in adolescents that formed the basis of licensure for REPEVAX. The REPEVAX concomitant antigens include diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis toxoid, pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin, pertussis pertactin, pertussis fimbrial agglutinogens type 2 + 3, poliovirus type 1, poliovirus type 2, poliovirus type 3. The exception is for pertussis fimbrial agglutinogens (FIM) types 2 +
3, which defined a titer of >5 EU/mL in the assay used for licensure of REPEVAX. In this study the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of the pertussis FIM types 2 + 3 assay was >10.6 EU/mL, which is higher and therefore more stringent than the licensing criteria of REPEVAX.
The LLOQs for the concomitant antigens were 0.037 lU/mL for diphtheria toxoid;
0.05 lU/ml for tetanus toxoid; 0.9 EU/mL for pertussis toxoid; 2.9 EU/mL for pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin, 3.0 EU/mL pertussis pertactin; 10.6 EU/mL pertussis fimbrial agglutinogens type 2 + 3; 1:8 for poliovirus type 1, poliovirus type 2, poliovirus type 3.
Additional descriptive endpoints for the primary objective were the antibodies to concomitant vaccine antigens measured as geometric mean titer (GMTs) or geometric 30 mean concentrations (GMCs) at postvaccination 1 (Visit 2).
Another endpoint was the proportion of subjects with hSBA titer > LLOQ at Postvaccination 3 (Visit 6) for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains.
Concomitant vaccine antigens. The proportion of subjects achieving the prespecified criteria for the concomitant vaccine antigens 1 month after vaccination of
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis acellular (dTaP)-IPV (REPEVAX) was computed with a 2-sided 95% exact (or Clopper-Pearson confidence limit) for Group 1 and Group 2. The difference (bivalent rLP2086 I dTaP-IPV - dTaP-IPV, or Group 1 - Group 2) of the proportions was also calculated along with a 2-sided 95% exact Cl for the difference.
Noninferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cl for the difference was greater than -0.10 (-10%) for all of the 9 antigens in the dTaP-IPV vaccine.
hSBAs with Primary Test Strains. For each primary MnB hSBA test strain, the number and proportion of subjects achieving hSBA titers > LLOQ, >1:4, >1:8, >1:16, and >1:128 at each blood sampling time point were descriptively summarized along with 0 the exact 2-sided 95% Cl (or Clopper-Pearson confidence limit) for the proportion.
Results: Of 749 subjects randomized, 685 (91.5%) included the evaluable immunogenicity population. Immune responses following REPEVAX +rLP2086 or REPEVAX +saline were noninferior for all 9 REPEVAX antigens. Immune responses to the bivalent rLP2086 vaccine were substantial after 2 doses and further enhanced after
3 doses (Table 2). Mild-to-moderate injection site pain was the most common local reaction; headache and fatigue were the most common systemic events. The proportion of subjects reporting an AE within 30 days postvaccination was similar (8.8% and 11.4%, for REPEVAX +rLP2086 and REPEVAX +saline, respectively).
For the concomitant vaccine evaluable immunogenicity population, the proportion 0 of subjects achieving the prespecified level of antibodies to concomitant vaccine antigens (threshold for response) 1 month after the REPEVAX dose was similar between the bivalent rLP2086 + REPEVAX group and the REPEVAX alone group for concomitant vaccine antigens: diphtheria toxoid (99.4% in each group), tetanus toxoid (100% in each group), pertussis toxoid (94.7% and 96.0%, respectively), pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin (100% in each group), pertussis pertactin (100% in each group), pertussis fimbrial agglutinogens type 2 + 3 (97.6% and 98.9%, respectively), poliovirus type 1 (100% in each group), poliovirus type 2 (100% in each group), poliovirus type 3 (100% in each group).
Noninferiority was achieved because the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% Cl for 30 the difference in proportion of responders between the bivalent rLP2086 + REPEVAX group (Group 1) and the REPEVAX alone group (Group 2), 1 month after the REPEVAX dose was greater than -0.10 (-10%) for the 9 antigens in REPEVAX (i.e., the lowest lower bound of the 95% Cl on the proportion difference was -4.7% (pertussis toxoid). Hence, the immune response induced by REPEVAX given with bivalent rLP2086 was 35 noninferior to the immune response induced by REPEVAX alone.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
The proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer >LLOQ for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains for the Postvaccination 3 evaluable immunogenicity population was assessed. The LLOQ for A22 was an hSBA titer equal to 1:16 while the LLOQ for all the other MnB test stains was an hSBA titer equal to 1:8.
For Group 1, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer >LLOQ at baseline (before Vaccination 1)was 14.4% for primary MnB strain A22, 18.2% for A56, 12.7% for B24, and 6.2% for B44. For Group 2, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer >LLOQ at baseline (before Vaccination 1) was 23.0% for primary MnB strain A22,
21.8% for A56, 12.9% for B24, and 6.3% for B44.
Substantial hSBA responses were observed among Group 1 subjects after Dose of bivalent rLP2086, with additional increases observed after 3 doses 1 month after Vaccination 3. For Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + REPEVAX), the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer > LLOQ at 1 month after Vaccination 2 and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 was 81.1% and 95.6% for A22, 97.3% and 100% for A56, 81.0% and
96.8% for B24, and 55.5% and 81.5% for B44. While substantial hSBA responses were achieved after only two bivalent rLP2086 doses, the increase in the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer > LLOQ after 2 doses (1 month after Vaccination 2) compared to 3 doses (1 month after Vaccination 3) exemplifies the enhancement of an immune response after 3 doses. In the control group (Group 2), the proportions of subjects with an hSBA titer > LLOQ for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains at 1 month after Vaccination 2 and 1 month after Vaccination 3 were similar to the baseline hSBA results for each MnB test strain (before Vaccination 1).
For the 4 primary MnB test strains, the proportion of subjects in Group 1 exhibiting a defined hSBA titer was greater after 3 doses than after 2 doses. Subjects 25 who achieved an hSBA titer of > 1:16 are described, since this titer is a 4-fold increase from a 1:4 titer (a titer of >1:4 is widely recognized as the correlate of protection against IMD). For Group 1, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of 1:16 at 1 month after Vaccination 2 was 81.8% for A22, 97.3% for A56, 68.0% for B24, and 53.4% for B44. One month after Vaccination 3, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of
1:16 was 95.6% for A22, 100% for A56, 87.3% for B24, and 79.5% for B44.
In the control group (Group 2), the proportions of subjects exhibiting defined hSBA titers for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains at 1 month after Vaccination 2 and 1 month after Vaccination 3 were similar to the proportion of subjects with the defined hSBA titer at baseline (before Vaccination 1).
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
For Group 1, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of 1:16 following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 demonstrated that the vaccine elicits a robust immune response when 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 were administered.
hSBA Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs). In general, the GMTs at baseline were below the hSBA LLOQs for both groups. For Group 1, hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 2 were 35.5 for A22, 91.1 for A56, 15.9 for B24, and 14.6 for B44. The hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 63.4 for A22, 151.5forA56, 28.3 for B24, and 36.5 for B44.
For Group 1, the observed GMTs after 2 doses for subfamily A strains, as well as 0 after 3 doses for subfamily B strains, were indicative of a robust immune response.
Reverse cumulative distribution curves (RCDCs) showing the distribution of hSBA titers for A22, A56, B24, and B44 were assessed. Results from the RCDCs in Group 1 showed that substantial immune responses were observed among Group 1 subjects after Vaccination 2 of bivalent rLP2086; however, the figures also showed the 5 benefit of a third dose of bivalent rLP2086 as greater proportion of subjects achieved higher titers against the 4 MnB test strains. The effect was most pronounced for strain B44.
Conclusions: When given concomitantly with bivalent rLP2086, REPEVAX induced immune responses that were noninferior to those elicited by REPEVAX alone. The 0 bivalent rLP2086 vaccine induced robust bactericidal responses to four diverse MnB test strains, particularly to those representing subfamily B, that were greater after 3 doses than 2 doses. Concomitant administration was generally safe and well tolerated.

EXAMPLE 5
Immunogenicity of an Investigational Meningococcal Serogroup B Bivalent rLP2086 Vaccine in Healthy Adolescents
Background and Aims: Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) causes invasive disease in infants, adolescents, and adults. A conserved, surface-exposed lipoprotein, LP2086 (a factor H binding protein [fHBP]), is a promising MnB vaccine target. Safety and immunogenicity of an investigational bivalent, recombinant vaccine (rLP2086) were studied in healthy adolescents (11-18 years).
Methods: Subjects in this placebo-controlled, single-blind study were randomized to two 3-dose schedules and three 2-dose schedules. Each 120-pg dose contained 2 rLP2086 antigens, 1 from each LP2086 subfamily (A and B). Saline was given when vaccine was not scheduled. Serum bactericidal assays using human complement (hSBA) were performed with 4 MnB test strains (heterologous to vaccine fHBP). Results: 1713 subjects (mean age, 14.4 y) were randomized. One month after 3 doses of vaccine, hSBA titers >8 to subfamily A and B strains were observed in 95-99% and 86-89% of subjects, respectively; after 2 doses, these numbers ranged from 91-100% and 69-77% of subjects, respectively. Of the 2-dose schedules, 0 and 6 months induced the highest antibody responses (Table 1 of Example 5). hSBA GMTs after 2 doses ranged from 6.2-125.6 and after 3 doses ranged from 25.6-155.6 across the 4 MnB heterologous test strains. Mild-to-moderate injection site pain was the most common local reaction. Fever >38°C was experienced in 3.3-6.5% and 2.1% of rLP2086 and saline recipients, respectively, after dose 1.

Conclusions: rLP2086 was well tolerated. All dosing regimens yielded robust bactericidal responses that were most pronounced after 3 doses.
Table 1 of Example 5 is the same as Table 1 of Example 1, described above. Table 2 summarizes the hSBA GMTs and the corresponding Cis by study time for the evaluable immunogenicity population. GMTs increased from baseline (before Injection
1) and continued to increase with each subsequent dose of bivalent rLP2086.
For the 4 primary MnB strains, the GMTs were greater after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 (Groups 1 and 2) than after 2 doses (Groups 3, 4, and 5). The GMTs were similar between the two 3-dose groups, and they were similar among the three 2-dose groups.
Before injection 1 (baseline), hSBA GMTs for Groups 1,2, 3, 4, and 5 were as follows: 7.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.4, and 6.8 for A22, respectively; 6.8, 6.1, 6.7, 6.3, and 6.2 for A56, respectively; 5.3, 5.1,5.0, 4.9, and 5.1 for B24, respectively; and 4.4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.4 for B44, respectively.
For Group 1 (0-, 1-, and 6-month), there was a substantial increase in GMTs noted 1 month after Dose 2 for all 4 primary MnB strains (24.4, 77.3, 13.8, and 13.1 for A22, A56, B24, and B44, respectively). The GMTs further increased after 3 doses of
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 bivalent rLP2086 for Group 1 subjects for the 4 primary MnB test strains; 55.1 (A22); 152.96 (A56); 29.1 (B24); and 40.3 (B44).
For Group 2, similar increases in GMTs were noted after 2 and 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086. GMTs for Group 2 subjects after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 were 32.9 for A22; 94.6 for A56; 14.9 for B24; and 15.5 for B44. After 3 doses, the GMTs increased to 56.3 for A22; 155.6 for A56; 25.6 for B24; and 35.0 for B44.
For Groups 1 and 2, the observed GMTs after 2 doses for subfamily A strains, as well as after 3 doses for subfamily B strains, are indicative of a robust immune response.
For Group 3, small increases in GMTs were noted after 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086 as follows: 12.0 for A22; 18.5 for A56; 9.2 for B24; and 5.7 for B44. After 2 doses GMTs increased to 48.4 for A22; 125.6 for A56; 20.6 for B24; and 22.5 for B44.
For Group 4, GMTs were 13.3 for A22; 17.7 for A56; 9.8 for B24; and 5.9 for B44 after 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086. After 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086, GMTs were 37.1 forA22; 104.9 for A56; 17.7 for B24; and 19.1 for B44.
For Group 5, GMTs after 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086 were 16.0 for A22; 26.8 for A56; 12.6 for B24; and 6.8 for B44. After 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086, the GMTs increased to 39.6 for A22; 111.8 for A56; 14.7 for B24; and 17.8 for B44.
Taken together, for Groups 3, 4, and 5, the observed GMTs are indicative of an immune response for subfamily A and B strains after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086.
In summary, 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 provided a robust and the broadest immune response based on the hSBA titers for the 4 primary MnB test strains. In comparison to 2 doses, a higher proportion of subjects receiving 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 achieved an hSBA titer >1:8 to the 4 primary MnB test strains.
The results following the 0-, 1-, and 6-month dosing schedule (Group 1) were similar to the results following the 0-, 2-, and 6-month dosing schedule (Group 2). For Groups 1 and 2, the post-Dose 3 GMT values achieved were higher than the post-Dose 2 GMT values. For Groups 1 and 2, the post-Dose 2 GMT values ranged from 24.4 to 94.6 for subfamily A strains and from 13.1 to 15.5 for subfamily B strains. The postDose 3 GMT values ranged from 55.1 to 155.6 for subfamily A strains and from 25.6 to 40.3 for subfamily B strains. For Groups 1 and 2, a higher proportion of subjects achieved an hSBA titer >1:8 to the 4 primary MnB test strains following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 when compared to the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer >1:8 to the 4 primary MnB test strains after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
Subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 were also assessed. For Group 1, the percentage of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 one month after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 73.5% for A22; 96.3 for A56; 57.6 for B24; and 47.2% for B44. Following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086, the percentage of subjects in Group 1 who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 was 91.4% for A22; 99.2% for A56; 82.8% for B24; and 84.8% for B44.
For Group 2, the percentage of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 one month after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 88.1 % for A22; 97.9% for A56; 63.5% for B24; and 58.6% for B44. Following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086, the percentage of subjects in Group 2 who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 was 95.0% for A22; 98.9% for A56; 83.6% for B24; and 83.8% for B44.
For Groups 1 and 2, the percentage of subjects achieving an hSBA titer of >1:16 following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 demonstrated that the vaccine elicits a robust immune response.
For Group 3, the percentage of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 93.2% for A22; 98.4% for A56; 73.8% for B24; and 70.8% for B44.
For Group 4, the percentage of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 one month after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 90.8% for A22; 99.2% for A56; 67.1% for B24; and 64.5% for B44.
For Group 5, the percentage of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 was 91.0% for A22; 99.1 % for A56; 64.5% for B24; and 66.7% for B44.
For Groups 3, 4, and 5, the percentage of subjects achieving an hSBA titer of >1:16 demonstrated that the vaccine elicits a robust immune response to subfamily A strains following only 2 doses. However, 3 doses increases the robustness of response to subfamily B strains.
The percentage of subjects achieving an hSBA titer of >1:16 after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 shows that the vaccine elicits a robust and broad immune response to MnB strains expressing LP2086 variants that are different from the vaccine components.
Reverse cumulative distribution curves (RCDCs) showing the distribution of hSBA titers by study times were also assessed for the evaluable immunogenicity populations for each strain by group. The RCDCs show robust immune responses after 2 doses of bivalent rLP2086 subfamily A strains. Following the third dose of bivalent
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 rLP2086, the area under the response curves increases for all 4 primary MnB test strains, thereby demonstrating the enhancement of the immune response after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086.
The results from the primary and secondary immunogenicity endpoint analyses show that the vaccine can generate antibodies with significant hSBA activity against heterologous subfamily A and subfamily B variants of MnB. While the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer >1:8 was higher after 2 or 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086, a large proportion of subjects achieved an hSBA titer >1:8 one month after 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086. See Group 5 for example.
For the 4 primary MnB test strains, the GMTs were greater after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 (Groups 1 and 2) than after 2 doses (Groups 3, 4, and 5). The GMTs were similar in the two 3-dose groups. The GMTs were also similar among the three 2dose groups. These data also demonstrate robust hSBA responses after 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 based on the percentages of subjects achieving an hSBA titer >1:16.
These data demonstrate that the final formulation of bivalent rLP2086 generates a robust immune response and is safe and well tolerated when given in 2 or 3 doses. Even 1 dose of bivalent rLP2086 provides a substantial immune response above baseline and is also safe and well tolerated. Overall, there was no clinically meaningful difference in the safety profile after 2 or 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086.

EXAMPLE 6
Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a Meningococcal Serogroup B Bivalent rLP2086 Vaccine in Healthy Adolescents Aged 11 to 18 Years in Three Phase 2, Randomized, Controlled Studies
Background: Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) is a major cause of invasive meningococcal disease in adolescents. A conserved, surface-exposed lipoprotein, LP2086 (factor H binding protein [fHBP]), is a promising vaccine target to protect against invasive disease caused by MnB. Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an investigational bivalent, recombinant MnB vaccine (including SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, 2.8 molar ratio polysorbate-80, 0.5 mg/ml aluminum, 10 mM histidine, and 150 mM sodium chloride, herein referred to throughout the Examples as “bivalent rLP2086”) were examined in three phase 2, randomized, controlled studies in healthy adolescents 11-18 years of age.
Methods: Study 1012 examined 5 vaccine regimens of bivalent rLP2086, whereas studies 1010 and 1011 evaluated a 3-dose schedule of bivalent rLP2086 vaccine given concomitantly with the TdaP-IPV and HPV-vaccines, respectively. Each dose of bivalent rLP2086 contained 60 pg of the rLP2086 subfamily A variant A05 and 60 pg of the rLP2086 subfamily B variant B01. To examine immunogenicity of bivalent rLP2086 in each of the three studies, serum bactericidal assays using human complement (hSBA) were performed with 4 MnB test strains expressing the heterologous fHBP variants A22, A56, B24 and B44, which were selected to represent relevant diversity of fHBP variability, as well as to provide a perspective on the breadth of the vaccine-elicited immune response against strain expressing epidemiologically prevalent fHBP variants. Adverse events and solicited local and systemic reactions were assessed.
Results: 82-100% of subjects in all 3 studies achieved hSBA titers above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for each of the 4 MnB test strains 1 month after dose 3 (Table). Across the three studies, the majority of systemic events and local reactions were mild to moderate in severity; adverse events were generally not serious or related to the study vaccine.
Conclusions: Serum bactericidal antibody titers above 1:4 protect against invasive meningococcal disease. The demonstration of hSBA titers >LLOQ to 4 MnB test strains, each heterologous to vaccine antigen, in each of these adolescent phase 2 studies, suggest that the bivalent rLP2086 vaccine provided a functional antibody response that
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 may be broadly active against diverse MnB disease-associated strains. Vaccinations with the bivalent rLP2086 were generally well tolerated.

EXAMPLE 7
Immunogenicity of a Meningococcal Serogroup B Bivalent rLP2086 Vaccine in Healthy Adolescents Aged 11 to 18 When Administered Concomitantly With Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
This Phase 2, randomized, observer-blind, controlled study evaluated the immunogenicity of bivalent rLP2086 with or without coadministration with GARDASIL®, which is a quadrivalent vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV4) (as also described in U.S. Patent No. 5,820,870), in healthy adolescents >11 to <18 years of age. GARDASIL contains recombinant antigens of HPV type 6, 11, 16, and 18 (i.e., HPV-6, HPV-11, HPV-16, and HPV-18) L1 protein. An endpoint was the hSBA GMTs for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains at each applicable blood sampling time point. Methods: Subjects received bivalent rLP2086 (including SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, 2.8 molar ratio polysorbate-80, 0.5 mg/ml aluminum, 10 mM histidine, and 150 mM sodium chloride) + HPV4 (Group 1), bivalent rLP2086 + saline (Group 2), or HPV4 + saline (Group 3) at months 0, 2, and 6. Sera from subjects in Groups 1 and 2 before vaccination 1, and 1 month after vaccinations 2 and 3, were tested by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) using 4 MnB test strains, each expressing an fHBP (A22, A56, B44, and B24) that is heterologous to the vaccine components and represents the breadth of fHBP diversity, as well as epidemiological prevalence. Endpoints assessed included the proportion of subjects with hSBA titers > the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; 1:16 [A22] or 1:8 [A56, B44, B24]) and hSBA geometric mean titers (GMTs).
To demonstrate noninferiority of administrating GARDASIL plus bivalent rLP2086 compared to GARDASIL alone, immunogenicity assessments were performed with 2 hSBAs, using 1 primary test strain representing subfamily A variants (A22) and 1 primary test strain representing subfamily B variants (B24). However, all 4 primary MnB test strains were used for determination of additional bivalent rLP2086 immunogenicity/efficacy exploratory endpoints.
For assessment of the immune response to bivalent rLP2086, functional antibodies were analyzed in hSBAs with meningococcal serogroup B strains randomly selected from Pfizer’s representative MnB SBA strain pool, as described in Example 2. The hSBAs measured the functional antibodies in human sera that in a complementdependent manner kill the target meningococcal strain.

Results: 814 and 812 subjects included the evaluable immunogenicity population for Groups 1 and 2, respectively. Compared with before vaccination 1, the proportion of subjects with hSBA titers >LLOQ against all 4 test strains was higher after vaccinations 2 (55%-99%) and 3 (83%—99%; Figure 1). Table A of Example 7 presents the hSBA GMTs for each of the 4 primary MnB strains and the corresponding Cis by sampling time point for the evaluable immunogenicity population. The GMTs at baseline were below the hSBA LLOQs for both groups. GMTs ranged from 11.1-70.6 and 11.9-76.3 after vaccination 1, and 25.8-117.2 and 28.0-128.2 after vaccination 2 in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (Table A below).
For the evaluable immunogenicity population, the hSBA GMTs to the 2 primary MnB strains at 1 month after the Vaccination 3 bivalent rLP2086 dose for Group 1 and Group 2 were as follows: 53.3 and 57.8, respectively for A22 and 25.8 and 28.0, respectively for B24.
For Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 2 were 33.7 for A22, 76.3 for A56, 16.3 for B24, and 11.9 for B44. The hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 57.8 for A22, 128.2 for A56, 28.0 for B24, and 31.9 for B44.
For Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 2 were 31.9 for A22, 70.6 for A56, 15.0 for B24, and 11.1 for B44. The hSBA GMTs at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 53.3 for A22, 117.2forA56, 25.8 for B24, and 27.2 for B44.
Reverse cumulative distribution curves (RCDCs) showing the distribution of hSBA titers for A22, A56, B24, and B44 were assessed for Group 1 and Group 2 at all sampling time points for the evaluable immunogenicity population. The RCDCs showed that the majority of subjects responded after Vaccination 2 and had an additional increase in titer for the 4 primary MnB test strains after Vaccination 3. Immune responses to the antigens were similar for Groups 1 and 2.
Conclusions: Bivalent rLP2086 can be administered with HPV4 without affecting the bactericidal response assessed by hSBA seroresponse or GMTs. Since hSBA titers >1:4 correlate with protection against meningococcal disease, these data indicate the potential for protection of adolescents against a broad range of MnB strains following administration of the bivalent rLP2086 in the setting of concomitant administration of HPV vaccine.

Immunogenicity of Human Papilloma Vaccine Coadministered with a Bivalent rLP2086 Vaccine Against Meningococcal Serogroup B in Healthy Adolescents
Background: This Phase 2, randomized study evaluated coadministration of a quadrivalent vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV4), with bivalent rLP2086, an investigational vaccine against invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB), in healthy adolescents >11 to <18 years of age.
Methods: Subjects received HPV4 + bivalent rLP2086 (Group 1), bivalent rLP2086 + saline (Group 2), or saline + HPV4 (Group 3) at months 0, 2, and 6. Sera were collected at baseline and after doses 2 and 3 in all groups. Immune responses to HPV4 antigens (HPV-6, 11, 16, and 18) were determined by competitive LUMINEX immunoassays (cLIAs). Bivalent rLP2086 immunogenicity was measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) with 2 MnB test strains expressing vaccineheterologous fHBP variants (A22 and B24). Immunogenicity endpoints, all after dose 3, included: geometric mean titers (GMTs) against HPV antigens in Groups 1 and 3; hSBA GMTs for strains expressing variants A22 and B24 in Groups 1 and 2; and seroconversion rate for HPV antigens in baseline seronegative subjects in Groups 1 and 3. Safety of bivalent rLP2086 was also assessed after concomitant administration with HPV4 or saline.
Assessments of the immune response to GARDASIL (HPV type 6, 11, 16, and 18 L1 protein) were performed using cLIAs based on a fluorescently labeled microsphere-based platform (LUMINEX). Sera obtained from all subjects in Groups 1 and 3 prior to the first vaccination with GARDASIL (Visit 1) and 1 month after the third vaccination with GARDASIL (Visit 5) were used in these assays.
The comparison of the GMTs to the 4 HPV antigens for Group 1 and Group 3, with their corresponding GMT ratios (GMRs) of Group 1 to Group 3 and the 2-sided 95% Cis of the ratios is presented in Table A below of the present Example. The criterion for the noninferiority margin was 1.5-fold, which corresponds to a value of 0.67 for the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cl of the GMR. The 1.5-fold criterion of 0.67 was met for all the MnB test strains and the HPV antigens except for HPV-18, which had a lower bound 95% confidence interval (Cl) of 0.62. In a separate analysis, >99% of subjects seroconverted to all 4 HPV antigens in both the Saline + HPV4 and rLP2086 + HPV4 groups.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
Another objective of this study was to describe the immune response induced by bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL (Group 1) and by saline + GARDASIL (Group 3), as measured by seroconversion in the HPV immunogenicity assays after the Vaccination 3 dose of GARDASIL (Visit 5) in both groups.
The seroconversion rate for each of the 4 HPV antigens, 1 month after the last dose of GARDASIL for subjects who were HPV-seronegative at baseline in Group 1 and Group 3, was calculated as the proportion of subjects with anti-HPV serum cLIA levels >20 mMU/ml for HPV-6, >16 mMU/ml for HPV-11, >20 mMU/ml for HPV-16, and >24 mMU/ml for HPV-18.
The number and proportion of baseline HPV-seronegative subjects achieving the prespecified criteria for seroconversion for the 4 HPV antigens with the corresponding 95% Cis in each group, the percent differences (Group 1 - Group 3) in the proportion, and the 95% Cis of the differences are presented in Table B of Example 8 for the baseline HPV-seronegative evaluable immunogenicity population.
Results: The prespecified noninferiority criteria set at 1.5-fold (0.67 lower limit of 95% Cl for GMRs) were met for 3 of 4 HPV antigens (not HPV-18) and both MnB test strains (Table A). Seroconversion rates in Groups 1 and 3 were >99% for all HPV antigens (Table B). Greater local reactogenicity occurred after rLP2086 compared with saline but did not increase with later doses; injection site pain was the most common local reaction. Systemic events in all 3 groups were generally mild and moderate in severity.
For the evaluable immunogenicity population, the GMTs of antibodies to the 4 HPV antigens at 1 month after the GARDASIL dose at Vaccination 3 for Group 1 and Group 3 were as follows: 451.8 and 550.3, respectively (HPV-6); 892.9 and 1084.3, respectively (HPV-11); 3695.4 and 4763.4, respectively (HPV-16); and 744.0 and 1047.4, respectively (HPV-18). The GMRs of Group 1 to Group 3 at 1 month after the GARDASIL dose at Vaccination 3 were 0.82 for HPV-6 (95% Cl: 0.72, 0.94), 0.82 for HPV-11 (95% Cl: 0.74, 0.91), 0.78 for HPV-16 (95% Cl: 0.68, 0.88), and 0.71 for HPV18 (95% Cl: 0.62, 0.81). Therefore, the lower limits of the 2-sided 95% Cis for anti-HPV GMRs for Group 1 compared with Group 3 were 0.72 for HPV-6, 0.74 for HPV-11, 0.68 for HPV-16, and 0.62 for HPV-18. The 1.5-fold criterion of 0.67 (the lower limit of the 2sided 95% Cl of the GMR) was met for all HPV antigens except for HPV-18, which had a lower bound of the 95% Cl of 0.62.
The GMRs of the bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL group to the bivalent rLP2086 + saline group at 1 month after the Vaccination 3 bivalent rLP2086 dose were 0.92 for A22 (95% Cl: 0.85, 1.00), and 0.92 for B24 (95% Cl: 0.84, 1.01). The lower limits of the
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
2-sided 95% Cis for the hSBA GMRs for Group 1 compared with Group 2 were 0.85 for A22 and 0.84 for B24, which are both greater than 0.67 and therefore met the noninferiority margin of 1.5-fold.
The data from bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL (Group 1) administration were compared to data from the bivalent rLP2086 + saline (Group 2) administration by analyzing the hSBA titer 4-fold response rates for 2 primary MnB strains (A22 and B24) at 1 month after Vaccination 3 The proportions of subjects achieving >4-fold rise in hSBA titer from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 for the 2 primary MnB strains were measured for both Group 1 subjects who received bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL and Group 2 subjects who received bivalent rLP2086 + saline. Of the subjects in Group 1, 85.3% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against B24. Of the subjects in Group 2, 86.4% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against A22, and 84.8% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against B24.
The difference in the proportion of responders between Group 1 and Group 2 at 1 month after Vaccination 3 was -1.1% for A22 (95% Cl: -4.6, 2.3) and -1.4% for B24 (95% Cl: -5.1, 2.3). The differences of 4-fold response rates were all near a value of 1%, with the lower bounds of the 95% Cl of the proportion difference being -4.6% A22 and -5.1% B24.
The noninferiority criteria of bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL compared to saline + GARDASIL or compared to bivalent rLP2086 + saline required that the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cis for the GMRs for antibodies to HPV for all 4 HPV antigens (HPV-6, HPV-11, HPV-16, and HPV-18) and for hSBA titers using 2 primary MnB test strains (A22 and B24) 1 month after Vaccination 3 be greater than 0.67. This prespecified criterion was met for both MnB test strains and at least 3 of the 4 HPV antigens. For HPV-18, the lower limit of the 2-sided Cis for the GMR was slightly below the prespecified threshold of 0.67, at 0.62.
The 4-fold rise responses to 2 primary MnB test strains (A22 and B24) were similar (ranged from 83.4% to 86.4%) between the group that received bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL and the group that received bivalent rLP2086 + saline.
The proportions of subjects in Groups 1 and 2 with prevaccination (i.e., before Vaccination 1) hSBA titers of >1:4 were 15.2% and 18.8%, respectively, for strain A22; 10.4% and 10.5%, respectively, for strain A56; 6.1% and 8.4%, respectively, for strain B24; and 1.7% and 3.2%, respectively for strain B44. In addition, the proportions of subjects in Groups 2 and 1 with prevaccination hSBA titers of >1:16 were 13.7% and
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
16.4%, respectively for strain A22; 9.0% and 9.1%, respectively, for strain A56; 4.1% and 5.4%, respectively, for strain B24; and 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively, for strain B44.
In Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer >1:4 at 1 month after Vaccination 2 was 86.3% for A22, 98.7% for A56, 77.1 % for B24, and 60.1% for B44. One month after Vaccination 3, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:4 was 96.4% for A22, 99.4% for A56, 92.8% for B24, and 86.5% for B44. In Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:4 at 1 month after Vaccination 2 was 83.8% for A22, 97.8% for A56, 71.9% for B24, and 57.7% for B44. One month after Vaccination 3, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:4 was 94.3% for A22, 99.1 % for A56, 91.1 % for B24, and 84.4% for B44.
In Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer >1:16 at 1 month after Vaccination 2 was 85.8% for A22, 98.4% for A56, 68.8% for B24, and 49.9% for B44. One month after Vaccination 3, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:16 was 96.3% for A22, 99.4% for A56, 89.2% for B24, and 82.4% for B44. In Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:16 at 1 month after Vaccination 2 was 83.0% for A22, 97.2% for A56, 65.2% for B24, and 46.4% for B44. One month after Vaccination 3, the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:16 was 94.0% for A22, 98.9% for A56, 86.3% for B24, and 78.0% for B44.
For both Group 1 and Group 2, a high proportion of subjects achieved an hSBA titer of >1:16 or greater following 2 or 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086, while most of the subjects had no measureable hSBA titer to any of the primary MnB test strains at prevaccination Visit 1.
For the baseline HPV-seronegative evaluable immunogenicity population, the proportion of subjects achieving the prespecified criteria for HPV seroconversion for the HPV antigens at 1 month after the GARDASIL dose at Vaccination 3 for the bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL group (Group 1) and the saline + GARDASIL group (Group 3) were as follows: HPV-6 (99.4% and 99.3%, respectively), HPV-11 (99.6% and 99.5%, respectively), HPV-16 (99.6% and 99.5%, respectively), and HPV-18 (99.5% and 99.0%, respectively).
The difference in proportion of responders between the bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL group (Group 1) and the saline + GARDASIL group (Group 3) at 1 month after the GARDASIL dose was 0.1% for HPV-6 (95% Cl; -0.9, 1.5), 0.1% for HPV-11
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 (95% Cl: -0.7, 1.3), 0.1% for HPV-16 (95% Cl; -0.7, 1.3), and 0.5% for HPV-18 (95% Cl; -0.6, 1.9).
For the bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL group (Group 1) and the saline + GARDASIL group (Group 3), the seroconversion rate differences were within 0.1% and 0.5% across all 4 HPV antigens and the seroconversion rates were very similar across groups, with greater than 99% of subjects seroconverting for all 4 HPV antigens.
As an additional evaluation, bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL (Group 1) was compared to bivalent rLP2086 + saline (Group 2), by analyzing the hSBA titer 4-fold response rates for 2 primary MnB strains (A22 and B24) at 1 month after Vaccination 3. The proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 for the 2 primary MnB strains are as follows: Of the subjects in Group 1, 85.3% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against test strain A22, and 83.4% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against test strain B24. Of the subjects in Group 2, 86.4% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against test strain A22 and 84.8% exhibited >4-fold rise in hSBA titers against test strain B24.
The difference in the proportion of responders between Group 1 and Group 2 at 1 month after Vaccination 3 was -1.1% for A22 (95% CL-4.6, 2.3) and -1.4% for B24 (95% Cl: -5.1, 2.3). The differences of 4-fold response rate were all near a value of 1%, with the lower bounds of the 95% Cl of the proportion difference being -4.6% (A22) and -5.1% (B24).
Immune responses to bivalent rLP2086. Another objective of this study was to describe the immune response as measured by hSBA performed with 4 primary MnB test strains, 2 expressing LP2086 subfamily A proteins (A22 and A56) and 2 expressing LP2086 subfamily B proteins (B24 and B44), measured 1 month after the second visit (Visit 3) and the third (Visit 5) vaccinations with bivalent rLP2086.
One of the endpoints for this objective was the proportion of subjects with hSBA titers >LLOQ at 1 month after Vaccination 2 (Visit 3) and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 (Visit 5) for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains. The proportion of subjects with hSBA titer > LLOQ for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains for the evaluable immunogenicity population was assessed. The LLOQ for A22 was an hSBA titer equal to 1:16, while the LLOQ for all the other MnB test strains was an hSBA titer equal to 1:8.
For Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer > LLOQ at baseline (before Vaccination 1) was 16.4% for A22, 9.3% for A56, 6.9% for B24, and 2.5% for B44. For Group 2, the proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer > LLOQ at 1 month after Vaccination 2 and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
85.8% and 96.3%, respectively, for A22; 98.5% and 99.4%, respectively, for A56; 74.2% and 92.6%, respectively for B24; and 57.1% and 85.7%, respectively, for B44.
For Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer > LLOQ at baseline (before Vaccination 1) was 13.7% for A22, 9.2% for A56, 5.1% for B24, and 1.4% for B44. For Group 1, the proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer > LLOQ at 1 month after Vaccination 2 and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 83.0% and 94.0%, respectively, for A22; 97.5% and 98.9%, respectively, for A56; 70.6% and 90.5%, respectively for B24; and 54.5% and 82.7%, respectively, for B44.
Substantial hSBA responses to the 4 primary MnB test strains were observed among both Group 1 and Group 2 subjects at 1 month after Vaccination 2, with additional increases observed at 1 month after Vaccination 3.
The proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 for each of the 4 primary MnB test strains and the proportions of subjects achieving the composite response for the evaluable immunogenicity population were assessed. The proportions of subjects with an observed hSBA titer >LLOQ for all 4 MnB strains combined at baseline (before Vaccination 1) were similar between Group 1 (0.3%) and Group 2 (0.7%).
For Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 was 86.4% for A22, 95.3% for A56, 84.8% for B24, and 80.7% for B44, and 83.9% of subjects achieved a composite hSBA response (hSBA > LLOQ for all 4 primary strains combined). At 1 month after Vaccination 2, the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 from baseline was 74.2% for A22, 92.6% for A56, 63.4% for B24, and 47.4% for B44, and 51.9% of subjects achieved a composite hSBA response.
For Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 was 86.4% for A22, 95.3% for A56, 84.8% for B24, and 80.7% for B44, and 83.9% of subjects achieved a composite hSBA response (hSBA > LLOQ for all 4 primary strains combined). At 1 month after Vaccination 2, the proportion of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >4 from baseline was 74.2% for A22, 92.6% for A56, 63.4% for B24, and 47.4% for B44, and 51.9% of subjects achieved a composite hSBA response.
Additional hSBA fold response. Other endpoints were the proportion of subjects achieving at least 2-fold and 3-fold hSBA titer increases from baseline to each postvaccination blood sampling visit for each of the 4 primary MnB strains. Note that
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 the LLOQ for A22 was an hSBA titer equal to 1:16, while the LLOQ for all the other MnB test strains was an hSBA titer equal to 1:8.
The proportion of subjects achieving a >2-fold rise in hSBA titer from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 2 for Group 1 and Group 2 for MnB strains were 77.3% and 81.1%, respectively, for A22; 94.4% and 95.3%, respectively, for A56; 63.0% and 66.0%, respectively, for B24; and 46.1% and 48.6%, respectively, for B44. The proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >2 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 for Group 1 and Group 2 for MnB strains were 90.2% and 92.8%, respectively, for A22; 97.2% and 97.9%, respectively, for A56; 84.6% and 87.2%, respectively, for B24; and 77.7% and 81.7%, respectively, for B44.
The proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >3 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 2 for Group 1 and Group 2 for MnB strains were 73.1% and 74.2%, respectively, for A22; 92.5% and 92.6%, respectively, for A56; 61.3% and 63.4%, respectively, for B24; and 45.7% and 47.4%, respectively, for B44. The proportions of subjects achieving an hSBA titer fold rise >3 from baseline to 1 month after Vaccination 3 for Group 1 and Group 2 for MnB strains were 85.3% and 86.4%, respectively, for A22; 95.0% and 95.3%, respectively, for A56; 83.4% and 84.8%, respectively, for B24; and 77.0% and 80.7%, respectively, for B44.
In summary of the descriptive endpoints under the objectives, the majority of subjects achieved an hSBA titer > LLOQ for both Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL) and group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline) for all 4 primary MnB test strains, while only a very small proportion of subjects had measurable hSBA titers > LLOQ at baseline (prevaccination Visit 1). Substantial immune responses with the 4 MnB strains were observed at 1 month after Vaccination 2, with additional increases observed at 1 month after Vaccination 3 for both Group 1 and Group 2 subjects. This conclusion was confirmed by the proportion of subjects with an hSBA titer of >1:16 following 3 doses, the observed GMTs achieved after 2 doses and after 3 doses in both groups, and the RCDCs for the 4 primary MnB test strains.
For both Group 1 and Group 2, a high proportion of subjects achieved an hSBA titer fold rise >4 for each of the primary MnB test strains and a composite hSBA response > LLOQ for all 4 primary MnB strains after the third study vaccination.
In addition, the majority of subjects achieved an hSBA titer fold rise >3 and an hSBA titer fold rise >2 for the 4 primary MnB strains at all sampling time points for both Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL) and Group 2 (bivalent rLP2086 + saline). The
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 proportion of subjects with results meeting these criteria was higher after 3 vaccinations compared with 2 vaccinations.
These results support the evidence that the immune response to bivalent rLP2086 when coadministered with the HPV vaccine, GARDASIL, yields a robust immune response that is comparable to the immune response to bivalent rLP2086 + saline.
HPV GMTs. Table B of Example 8 presents the GMTs and the corresponding Cis for each of the 4 HPV antigens at 1 month after Vaccination 3 for Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL) and Group 3 (saline + GARDASIL) in the evaluable immunogenicity population.
For Group 3, the HPV GMTs at baseline (before Vaccination 1) and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 6.0 and 550.3, respectively, for HPV-6; 4.3 and 1084.3, respectively, for HPV-11; 6.1 and 4763.4, respectively, for HPV-16; and 5.3 and 1047.4, respectively, for HPV-18. For Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), the HPV GMTs at baseline (before Vaccination 1) and at 1 month after Vaccination 3 were 5.8 and 451.8, respectively for HPV-6; 4.2 and 892.9, respectively, for HPV-11; 5.8 and 3695.4, respectively, for HPV-16; and 5.2 and 744.0, respectively, for HPV-18. Overall, the GMTs were numerically higher for Group 3 compared with Group 1. Reverse cumulative distribution curves (RCDCs) showing the distribution of titers for HPV-6, HPV-11, HPV-16, and HPV-18 were assessed for Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL) and Group 3 (saline + GARDASIL) at all sampling time points for the evaluable immunogenicity population. The RCDCs showed robust immune responses among subjects after Vaccination 3 for both Group 1 and Group 3.
Summary of Immune response to GARDASIL. The GMTs to HPV antigens were numerically higher for Group 3 (saline + GARDASIL) as compared with Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL), and the observed HPV GMTs after Vaccination 3 were indicative of a robust immune response for both groups. RCDCs also supported robust immune responses after Vaccination 3 for both Group 1 and Group 3. This was also supported by the proportion of subjects with seropositive status for the 4 HPV antigens, which was >99% at 1 month after Vaccination 3 for both groups. The younger age subgroup had higher HPV GMTs in Group 3 (saline + GARDASIL) than the older age subgroup. This difference was maintained when GARDASIL was given concomitantly with bivalent rLP2086.
Immunogenicity Conclusions. The noninferiority criteria of bivalent rLP2086 _ GARDASIL compared to saline + GARDASIL or compared to bivalent rLP2086 + saline
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 required that the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cis for the geometric mean titer ratios (GMRs) for antibodies to HPV for all 4 HPV antigens (HPV-6, HPV-11, HPV-16, and HPV-18) and for hSBA titers using 2 primary MnB test strains (A22 and B24) 1 month after Vaccination 3 be greater than 0.67. This prespecified threshold was met for both MnB strains and 3 of the 4 HPV antigens. For HPV-18, the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cis for the GMR was slightly below the prespecified threshold of 0.67, at 0.62.
Seroconversion for all 4 HPV antigens was achieved by 99% or more of the subjects for the groups that received GARDASIL concomitantly with bivalent rLP2086 or with saline. The RCDCs for all 4 HPV antigens show that the majority of subjects achieved a response above the seroconversion threshold at 1 month after Vaccination
3. Robust GMTs relative to baseline were observed for both groups that received GARDASIL.
The 4-fold rise responses to 2 primary MnB test strains (A22 and B24) were similar (ranged from 83.4% to 86.4%) between the group that received bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL (85.3% and 83.4%, respectively) and the group that received bivalent rLP2086 + saline (86.4% and 84.8%, respectively).
Further descriptive analyses of the response to bivalent rLP2086 were performed using 4 primary MnB test strains (A22, A56, B24, and B44). A high proportion of subjects achieved an hSBA titer fold rise >4 and the composite response (all 4 primary MnB test strains and the same immunogenicity/efficacy endpoint definition as used in the Phase 3 clinical program) for the evaluable immunogenicity population for both groups that received bivalent rLP2086, either concomitantly with GARDASIL (bivalent rLP2086 + GARDASIL) or with saline (bivalent rLP2086 + saline), 1 month after Vaccination 2 or 3. These responses are substantially higher than an hSBA titer >1:4 that has been demonstrated to correlate with protection against meningococcal disease including serogroup B disease. These results also indicate and support the evidence of a robust immune response to bivalent rLP2086 whether administered with saline or concomitantly with GARDASIL.
Conclusions: Data indicate that robust immune responses to both vaccines were generated after concomitant administration of rLP2086 + HPV4. Prespecified noninferiority criteria were met for 5 of 6 antigens. Although GMRs to HPV-18 narrowly missed noninferiority criteria, the high proportion of responders (>99%) indicates clinical effectiveness is expected to be maintained after concomitant administration. Bivalent rLP2086 was well tolerated and elicited a robust immune response to test strains expressing fHBPs heterologous to those in the vaccine.

EXAMPLE 9: BIVALENT RLP2086 VACCINE EFFICACY
The efficacy of bivalent rLP2086 has been inferred using hSBA responses as the surrogate of efficacy and demonstration of serum bactericidal antibody responses to invasive N. meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) strains.
Four MnB strains, representative of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) causing strains, were used in the evaluation. Each MnB test strain expresses an fHBP protein variant (A22, A56, B24 or B44) that is heterologous (differs) from the vaccine components (A05 and B01).
The efficacy of bivalent rLP2086 was assessed in 3 randomized controlled Phase II studies conducted in 4,459 adolescents aged 11 through 18 years of age in the US and Europe. See also Example 6. A total of 2,293 received at least 1 dose of 120 pg of bivalent rLP2086 using a 0-, 2-, and 6-month vaccination schedule. Efficacy was assessed by evaluating hSBA immune responses in subjects vaccinated with bivalent rLP2086.
Efficacy was inferred using 5 co-primary immunogenicity endpoints. For 4 of the co-primary endpoints, pre-specified proportions of subjects had to achieve 4-fold rises in hSBA titer to each of the 4 MnB test strains following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086. The fifth co-primary endpoint was a composite endpoint requiring that a prespecified high proportion of subjects each respond in all 4 hSBAs with the primary MnB test strains following 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086. Immune response was also assessed based on the proportion of subjects who achieved an hSBA titer > the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) 1 month after the third dose of vaccine. LLOQ is defined as the lowest amount of the antibody in a sample that can be measured.
Study 1 (described in Example 7 and Example 8) was a Phase II, randomized, active-controlled, observer-blinded, multicenter trial in which 2,499 US subjects, 11 through 17 years of age, were randomly assigned (in a 2:2:1 ratio) to 1 of 3 groups: Group 1 received bivalent rLP2086 + HPV4, Group 2 received bivalent rLP2086 + Saline, and Group 3 received Saline + HPV4. All vaccinations were administered on a 0-, 2-, and 6-month schedule.
Study 2 (described in Example 4) was a Phase II, randomized, placebocontrolled, single-blind trial in which 753 European subjects, 11 through 18 years of age, were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 2 groups: Group 1 received bivalent rLP2086 at 0-, 2-, and 6-months and dTaP-IPV (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussisinactivated polio virus) at Month 0. Group 2 received Saline at 0-, 2-, and 6-months and dTaP-IPV at Month 0.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
Study 3 (described in Example 5) was a Phase II, randomized, placebocontrolled, single-blind, multicenter trial in which 1,713 European subjects, 11 through 18 years of age, were randomly assigned in a 3:3:3:2:1 ratio to 5 groups. Subjects received 2 or 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 administered on a 0-, 1-, and 6-month schedule (Group 1); on a 0-, 2-, and 6-month schedule (Group 2); on a 0- and 6-month schedule (Group 3); on a 0- and 2-month schedule (Group 4); or on a 0- and 4-month schedule (Group 5). Saline injections (1 or 2 doses depending on group) were administered in each group to maintain the blind.
Results in Studies 1, 2, and 3 among subjects who received a 3-dose series of bivalent rLP2086 at 0-, 2-, and 6-months are described above in the respective Examples 4-8. Evaluation of the 4-fold and composite response rates were exploratory endpoints for all studies. The 4-fold response rates showed that the lower bounds of the 95% Confidence Interval (Cl) for all 4 endpoints were similar among the 3 studies and consistently met the threshold limits for the Phase III endpoints. The proportion of subjects achieving hSBA titer > LLOQ was similar across the 3 studies.
Based on the hSBA data acquired following 2 administrations of the vaccine given 1 or 2 months apart, 2 doses of vaccine administered over these intervals may provide protection to individuals at increased risk, due to potential exposure to a case of meningococcal serogroup B disease. The responses observed after 2 vaccine administrations delivered 1 or 2 months apart showed that a proportion of subjects expressed hSBA levels equal to or above the LLOQ values for each of the 4 primary test strains (see Study 1 results for Group 1 and Group 2; see Study 2 results for Group 1; see Study 3 results for Group 2). A third dose of the vaccine, administered at 6 months, can achieve vaccine-mediated protection.
Concomitant Vaccine Administration. Study 1 (described in Example 7 and Example 8) evaluated the concomitant use of bivalent rLP2086 and HPV4 in US adolescents. The study endpoints included noninferiority assessment of the immune response for the four HPV4 antigens (based on geometric mean titer [GMT]) and for bivalent rLP2086 (based on hSBA using two MnB test strains [variants A22 and B24]) 1 month after the third vaccination. HPV4 immune response was also evaluated by seroconversion for each of the 4 HPV antigens.
Study 1 shows the comparison of the geometric mean titers (GMTs) of the antibodies to HPV antigens for Group 1 (bivalent rLP2086 + HPV4) and Group 3 (Saline + HPV4), with their corresponding GMT ratio (GMRs) between Group 1 and Group 3 and the 2-sided 95% Cis of the ratios. Study 1 also provides the comparison of hSBA
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
GMTs to the 2 primary MnB test strains for Group 1 and Group 2 with their corresponding GMRs between Group 1 and Group 2 and the 2-sided 95% Cl of the ratios. The criterion for noninferiority margin was 1.5-fold, which corresponds to a value of 0.67 for the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% Cl of the GMR. The 1.5-fold criterion of 0.67 was met for all the MnB test strains and the HPV antigens except for HPV-18, which had a lower bound 95% confidence interval (Cl) of 0.62. Although the response to HPV-18 did not meet the pre-specified noninferiority criterion, the difference was marginal. In a separate analysis, >99% of subjects seroconverted to all 4 HPV antigens in both the Saline + HPV4 and bivalent rLP2086 + HPV4 groups.

Bivalent rLP2086 Elicits Antibodies in Individuals That Provide Broad Coverage Against MnB Strains Expressing Prevalent and OutbreakAssociated fHBP Variants
Bactericidal antibodies measured in serum bactericidal assays using human complement (hSBAs) have been correlated with protection from meningococcal disease and hSBA responses have been used routinely as surrogates of vaccine efficacy. Global epidemiological studies of fHBP diversity revealed that -80% of meningococcal disease is caused by strains that express one of 10 prevalent fHBP variants. Methods: hSBA responses to Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MnB) strains expressing the 10 most prevalent fHBP variants in the US and Europe (B24, B16, B44, A22, B03, B09, A12, A19, A05 and A07) in individual human subjects immunized with bivalent rLP2086 were evaluated. MnB strains expressing these ten most prevalent variants represent the breadth of fHBP diversity, including 5 of the 6 major fHBP subgroups, that are representative of > 98% and 97% of strains (by subgroup) in the MnB SBA strain pool, and US subset of the MnB SBA strain pool, respectively. Twenty-three MnB test strains were obtained from Pfizer’s MnB SBA strain pool (N=1263) that represent strains systematically collected from the US and Europe between the years 2000 and 2006. In addition, isolates from recent MnB disease outbreaks were included in the analysis. Matched prevaccination and postvaccination sera (postdose 2 and postdose 3) were obtained randomly from adolescent and young adult subjects enrolled in clinical studies B1971005, B1971012 or B1971003.
To provide additional information supporting the potential coverage afforded by vaccination with bivalent rLP2086, hSBAs were performed with the outbreak strains and serum samples from nine subjects immunized with bivalent rLP2086 (clinical study B1971012, described in Example 5 and Example 6. The subjects (11 to <19 years of age) had received 3 doses of bivalent rLP2086 at 0, 2 and 6 months. To ensure a conservative hSBA assessment the nine subjects were selected in a non-biased manner from a set of subjects with no baseline hSBA activity against the primary MnB test strains. Two of the clonal Princeton University outbreak strains (PMB5021 and PMB5025) and two of the UCSB outbreak strains (one from each of the two genetic clusters, PMB4478 and PMB4479, were tested.
Genetic characterization of the clonal Princeton University MnB Outbreak Strains is as follows: data suggest that the Princeton University outbreak strains are clonal.
2019220620 26 Aug 2019
Each of the strains was typed as CC41/44 (ST 409) and expressed fHBP variant B153 (SEQ ID NO: 6). The strains had identical allele assignments for NHBA (2), porA (subtype P1.5-1,2-2) and porB (3-82), all were null for nadA, and all had the same pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profile (429).
Genetic characterization of the 2013 University of California Santa Barbara Outbreak Strains is as follows: The UCSB strains were typed as CC32(ET5; ST32), expressed fHBP variant B24, and are related to the Oregon clone that has been associated with hyperendemic serogroup B disease since 1993. Unlike the Princeton outbreak group of strains, the UCSB strains segregated genetically into two distinct clusters that were differentiated by their PFGE profile (468 or 467) and porB type (3-461 or 3-24). The strains had identical allele assignments for NadA (1), NHBA (5), porA (subtype P1.7,16-20) hSBA titers at baseline for all subjects and all outbreak strains were < 4, indicating that the subjects had no protective antibodies to any of the outbreak strains prior to immunization with bivalent rLP2086.
Results: All 23 MnB strains were susceptible in hSBA with sera from individual subjects immunized with bivalent rLP2086. Strains representing all 10 prevalent fHBP variants as well as additional strains were all killed by hSBA. Baseline hSBA seroprotection rates (proportions of subjects achieving hSBA titers >1:4) were generally low. The lower seroprotective rates observed in subjects before immunization with bivalent rLP2086 exemplify the vulnerability of a non-vaccinated adolescent or young adult population to MnB disease. However, robust seroprotection rates were observed in adolescents and young adults with postvaccination sera: seroprotection rates >70% were observed for 83% of these strains depending on MnB strains and population tested. Postvaccination seroprotection rates for strains expressing the most prevalent subfamily A and B fHBP variants, B24 and A22, ranged from 81.0% to 100%, and 77.8% to 100% for recent outbreak strains expressing fHBP variants B24 and B153. Furthermore, robust postdose 2 responses (compared to baseline) to all outbreak strains were observed in these subjects, ranging from 56 to 89% depending on the outbreak strain used in the hSBA. In contrast, prevaccination seroprotective rates were low, or not detectable, for recent US outbreak strains. The hSBA responses to the Princeton University and UCSB outbreak strains are shown in FIG. 2.
Conclusions: Bivalent rLP2086 elicits robust seroprotective hSBA responses in individuals to diverse invasive MnB strains expressing prevalent fHBPs in the US and Europe, as well as newly emerging variants (B153)(SEQ ID NO: 6). The proportion of
2019220620 26 Aug 2019 subjects that showed a seroprotective response after immunization with bivalent rLP2086 greatly exceeded the proportion of subjects that was seroprotected at baseline. The data support that bivalent rLP2086 has the potential to provide broad protection of adolescents and young adults from invasive meningococcal serogroup B disease, including disease from recent outbreaks.
